I'm thinking I'd like to permanently loose at least 10 readers today, so I'll go ahead and post my quote from earlier, during the drive home from the movies:
"So yeah, I think Nicolas Cage absolutely got the academy award nod based purely on the fact that he played an alcoholic. These days, if you want Oscar to even look in your direction, you better be drinking yourself to death or at least have a drug problem. It also helps to be paralyzed or gay. Any minority will do as well, and it doesn't hurt to be Jewish. All that to say, if you play a black, paralyzed, gay, recovering alcoholic who blows cocaine before going to synagogue then you've pretty much got it in the bag. Unless of course Bill Murray steals it from you by acting lethargic for two hours, i.e. Lost in Translation."
My dad slowly turns his head at me and stares blankly, his eyes like dinner plates, stone armed and freezing. I slightly pucker my lips and nod, doing my best Johnny Cash impression.

I'd be jealous of the girl wiating for the call one:)
michael, it almost looks like you have a moustache in that picture. almost, i think you should try it. anyways, hope you had a good Christmas and a great new year tommorow night, and when are you leaving for Germany? later dude
A-Town,
There is really nothing more terrifying than the prospect of me growing a mustache (or impossible, for that matter!). Have a good party tonight at Seans--that's going to be some sweet action. Try to get Sean to do a new years dance; it shouldn't take too much provocation.

Oh, and Germany=around jan. 20. yikes, huh?
